OpenStudy (1995monster):

i have no clue what this is

OpenStudy (1995monster):

i want an explanation as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would assume the 3rd choice, because the others rely on "eyeball" measurements, which are never completely accurate. Connecting two points though requires no measurement.

OpenStudy (1995monster):

Ya i didnt expect it to be A because you can't just put a line through it and the other 2 options are just like opposite of each other

OpenStudy (1995monster):

can you help me with this one as well http://gyazo.com/e66223dcef475aaed6db1fbf2eaee326

Also, watch this to understand what they're talking about: http://www.mathopenref.com/constparallel.html

OpenStudy (1995monster):

Im really clueless on the 2nd one =/

OpenStudy (aum):

The exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the opposite interior angles. Therefore, 15x - 48 = 5x + 12 + 40. Solve for x first.

OpenStudy (1995monster):

so 9?

OpenStudy (1995monster):

or at least x = 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since it's a triangle:\[\angle M +\angle L +\angle MKL = 180\] Solve for MKL:\[\angle MKL= 180 - \angle M - \angle L \] Substitute the values given to you:\[\angle MKL = 180 - 40 - (5x + 12) = -5x + 128\] To solve for x, use the fact that \[\angle MKL + \angle JKM = 180\]\[-5x+128 + 15x - 48 = 180\]\[x = 10\]So \[\angle MKL = -5(10)+128 = 78\]

OpenStudy (1995monster):

wow... ima need to reread that so much i didnt know :P

OpenStudy (1995monster):

wait isnt <MKL a traingle itself? so how could <M + <L + <MKL make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No <MKL is just a single angle - the one you get by drawing a line from M to K and another from K to L.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's written that way to make it discernible from <MKJ

OpenStudy (1995monster):

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH okie i get it now it was an angleee

OpenStudy (1995monster):

Wow thanks for the help appreciate it man
